An online retailer appears to have jumped the gun and listed the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max a day before the official announcement, posting images and partial details that reveal the phone’s colors and some launch hints — though several specs still look like placeholders from the previous generation.
Early listing exposes model name and imagery
The shop’s page surfaced today, showing product photos of the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max in at least three finishes. The images match other official materials we’ve seen, suggesting the visuals are genuine. However, the written specifications on the listing haven’t been fully updated — much of the copy still reads like the Xiaomi 15 Pro description, which has caused confusion.
One notable change is the naming: Xiaomi appears to be using “Pro Max” for its larger flagship this cycle and skipping the number 16 entirely. Alongside the Pro Max, Xiaomi will also offer a smaller Xiaomi 17 Pro, reportedly a more premium version of the compact 6.3-inch model.
Design touches: rear display and camera island
Both Pro models are said to include a secondary rear display, a feature that helps make the camera island more functional and visually distinctive. The listing photos show the Pro Max with the expected camera cluster and the rear display integrated into the design — a continuation of Xiaomi’s recent emphasis on hardware innovation for photography and customization.
While three colors were shown on the Kazakhstan-based store, other hues such as purple may be region-limited or simply not listed yet. Availability by market could vary once official sales begin.
Price listing, currency quirks and what to expect
The retailer prices the device at RUB 73,000 — exactly the same tag used for the Xiaomi 15 Pro at launch. Converted, that’s about $870, which aligns with earlier rumors that positioned the Pro Max between CNY 6,000 and CNY 7,000 (roughly $850–$1,000). For reference, the Xiaomi 15 Pro launched at CNY 5,300 ($740 at the time), so a modest price increase would be consistent with the Pro Max positioning.
It’s possible the store simply reused the previous listing’s price and specs, so take the exact numbers with caution until Xiaomi confirms them tomorrow.
When to watch the official reveal
Xiaomi’s public event is scheduled for 11:00 UTC tomorrow. Expect the company to confirm final specs, color options, exact pricing by region, and official availability windows during the presentation.
Conclusion
The premature store listing gives a useful preview of the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max’s design, name, and suspected price band, but the incomplete or recycled spec copy means we should hold off on firm conclusions. Tune in to Xiaomi’s 11:00 UTC event for the full, confirmed details.
